Welcome to Dale
Kulas' "Best of 2000" feature on his webpage. Since
nothing is really happening with the DX and NWO I decided to do
one of these. So here's some of my favorites of all time, along
with the pics of Steve Saunders. So enjoy.

Top 3
Matches of All Time
1. Tables, Ladders, Chairs Match Tag Title Match: Dudley Boys vs.
Hardy Boyz vs. Champs, Edge & Christian(WWF, Summerslam 2000)
This match had some of the best spots I've ever seen. Seeing Matt
Hardy miss a Swanton Bomb through a table, seeing Buh-Buh Ray
Dudley fall off a ladder, outside the ring, through 4 tables, and
lots of other great spots, this match stole the whole show of
Summerslam which turned out to be the WWF's PPV of 2000.

2. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit(IWA, 1995)
This was one great match, I happened to come across a Canadian
channel one Saturday morning witch was showing a program called
IWA: Hardcore Wrestling, it was a little known Canadian
organization who's main stars was former WWF/WCW wrestler Rick
Martel, and another wrestler known as The Natural(who went on to
become The Jackyl in the WWF and Cyrus in ECW) and it also had
Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho in there and they wrestled one
hell of a match. The match ended when Benoit pinned Jericho
after, get this, a Tombstone Piledriver off the Top Turnbuckle.
Great match.

3. Owen Hart Tribute Match: Bret "Hitman" Hart vs.
Chris Benoit(WCW, Oct. 1999 Nito)
Seldom are tv matches this long. This match lasted over 20
minutes and had two of the best technical wrestlers deliver one
of the best matches in a long time. The match was in the same
arena in Kansas City where Owen Hart died at the May '99 WWF Over
the Edge PPV, Nitro was in this arena for this date and Bret Hart
came back to his first WCW TV Match(he did a house show match
against Hulk Hogan a month earlier) and dedicated the match in
memory of Owen. It didn't disappoint and wrestling fans were
treated to one of the greatest Nitro matches of all time.

1. "Nature Boy" Ric Flair(NWA/WCW 1982-91, 93-Present,
WWF 91-93)
A true legend. The greatest legend of this sport. He can always
carry a match, no matter how old he is, he can always do a great
interview, no matter who he does it with. All his matches are
classic and he'll go done as the greatest of all time.

2. "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley(WCW 94-95, WWF
95-Present)
This guy has been my favorite since I first saw him compete in
the WWF in the Hog Pen match against Henry Godwinn at the
December 1995 In Your House PPV), and as I saw him elevate from
the Blue Blood, to the Degenerate, and finally, to "The
Game" this superstar has won me over all the time, has lots
of ability, and can always carry a good match, and delivers some
of the best interviews ever.

3. The Big Boss Man(WWF 87-93, 98-Present, WCW 93-98)
Some of you are probably surprised by this, but this guy I've
always admired. He's probably one of the best heels ever, in
every one of his matches, weather its a main event or curtain
jurker, he always gives it 100% and always gets the right fan
reaction. He's carried many other stars with him in tag teams in
the WWF like Prince Albert, and Bull Buchanan, and he always
cares about the fans, he also does the most charity work of the
WWF superstars. He has great ability, and has lost so much
weight, that he's way better now, than he was years ago. He's
finisher, The Boss Man Slam, has always been my favorite.

1. Hulk Hogan & Andre the Giant(WWF, 1983-84)
C'mon, Andre turning on the Hulkster? Nobody saw it coming back
in 1983 and it set up their first match at Wrestlemania 3, which
set an all new attendence record. This feud set the standard for
all face/heel feuds to come.

2. The nWo(WCW, 1996-2000)
The NWO's first year was the greatest, and has had several forms
the past years which included just about everyone from the WCW
roster on there. It got everyone into liking wrestling again, it
made wrestling "cool" wherever you went just about
everyone had nWo shirts. After the first year of the nWo,
everything started to suck about it, and fans went to the WWF
instead.

3. Austin vs. McMahon(WWF, 1998-Present)
This long feud has been going on for ages, and it got the WWF the
ratings it needed to get the shift from WCW to the WWF. The stuff
that came out of this angle was just phenonmenal, we saw the
McMahons getting soaked in beer, just about murdered, embarrased
in the middle of an award ceremony, and even attacked at a
hospital. This has gotta be one of the best feuds of all time.

1. WWF Summerslam 2000
The T.L.C. match(look for description in my top 3 matches of all
time) stole the show. Just about all the other matches on this
card were great too, like a spot going wrong in the main event
triple threat match which saw Kurt Angle get a concussion, and
still come back to finish the match. Shane McMahon took a fall of
over 70 feet from the top of PPV set at the hands of Steve
Blackman. And the Undertaker was the first one ever to unmask
Kane.

2. WWF Wrestlemania 10(1994)
This match had two great main points. The first being Owen Hart
beating his brother Bret cleanly. The other being the
spectacular, first ever, Ladder Match, between Shawn Michaels and
Razor Ramon. This PPV also saw Lex Luger getting screwed in a
world title match against the late Yokozuna, and later Yoko
losing the belt to Bret Hart. It was also Randy Savage's last
Wrestlemania where he defeated Crush.

3. WCW Bash at the Beach 1996
This PPV saw the formation of the nWo. It saw Hulk Hogan shock
the world by turning heel, and the world of wrestling changed
forever. Also add some other great matches on this card, like a
Harlem Heat tag title match, and you got yourself one heck of a
card.
